Easter Preparations...Creative Goodness

I love Easter time!

It's even more Special when General Conference in held on this week-end.

It's a time to re-commit to living as Jesus Christ would have done.

Sharing the Gospel's "Good News"

HERE is a Link to a Video that shows what Easter is really about.

Today, I will spend some time putting Chocolate on these Marshmallow Eggs.

They will look like This...

Easter eggs- a sign of Spring and NEW LIFE!!!

My DD#2 is HOME this year to help me.

 The last time I made them with her was in 2009 in her home in Vancouver, Washington HERE

I am blessed to share this Easter Tradition.

I will Share the recipe this year- just for my Blog Readers.

Chocolate Marshmallow Eggs

Prepeare the 'molds' by filling sheet pans with flour- smoothed out and imprinted with an EGG.

I use two or 3 with a full batch, you can halve the recipe and fill just one sheet pan.

2 pkg KNOX Gelatin  + 4 TBLS Cold Water -Set aside

3 TBLS Jell-O (any flavor) 

1 Cup Boiling Water

Combine the above in a Mixing bowl and start beating.

Add 2 cups Granulated Sugar and Beat 5 minutes.

Spoon into the impressions and let set.  Turn over to coat the top side.

Dip in melted Chocolate and place on Waxed paper.  Store in covered containers.

I got this recipe when I lived in Mesa, Washington- 39 years ago! 

Thanks to Judy Barrow

They are really easy and so much better than the ones you buy in the store.

You could add icing flowers or print names on them for your grandchildren.

In my house they are usually eaten plain, the children don't wait for the fancy stuff.

If you don't want to mess with the flour, you can lightly spray a cake pan with non-stick spray 

and pour the Marshmallow into it. 

Cut with a sharp knife dipped into a glass of Hot water. 

Shake in a Zip-lock bag with Powdered Suger and /or Coconut.

What does EASTER mean to YOU?

Linking up with QuiltShopGal HERE

It's not all Quilting...

Since Easter is almost here and I think all my packages have been delivered so it is safe to 

show what I've made for the families and a couple of friends this Easter.

It definitely isn't quilted.

 "Poopy" Jelly Bean Ducks (by NaDell's Request)

I forgot to take a picture with J & K and N & A and their Ducks.

NaDell hid hers from her kids and forgot where it was so it is still without eyes and a duckbill.

I had to stop by My Oldest son's house to put the Duckbill and Eyes on his family's Duck.

Their children weren't home.  Thanks for posing M & C!

Some of the New ones and the Original ones I made a while ago.

I added the eyes to these.

I have been doing some sky watching, too

 Coming Home from the Ballgames last week I took this picture of the clouds.

 I saw a rainbow near the bottom in this one.  Can you see it???

Clouds around the Full Moon

Full Moon before the Eclipse

During and full RED, "Blood" Moon 

 The clouds blew over and that is all I could get with my Samsung Camera on my Phone.

We got a challenge from the Knitting Teacher at Lacey Lacers to make a "Spring Scarf"

Here is my progress since the mtg on Tuesday. I had to start over with bigger needles 

than the ones that I took to the Mtg.

The yarn has a bit of elastic in it so it is interesting to knit.

It will be back to Quilting on DWM.

Happy Easter Weekend!
